[peel] Fw: belle stars kid jensen session

[Dr Mango]

I'm fairly certain that Marc Riley repeated the first Bodysnatchers Peel session during his week of shows earlier this year.

 Sent
 a speculative email to a Belle Stars fansite and got this
 reply. So looks like Karl has supplied some missing KJ
 session tracks and made someone very happy - I have told him
 it wasn't me who uploaded it!
 He
 has also asked for the Bodysnatchers session - seems odd
 this hasn't turned up yet. Does anyone have
 it?

 Hello Mark
 
 Firstly, BIG thanks for uploading the tape to wiki!  I
 cannot express
 how cool it is to hear these Belle Stars session tracks
 after so many
 years!  I had (almost) given up hope of ever hearing
 them - thank you.
 
 I used to listen to Kid Jensen when I was at school and do
 have a copy
 of Turn Back The Clock but I never knew what other songs
 were recorded
 for the KJ show.  Now I do, The Reason, Sweet Memory
 and Burning (at
 least!).
 
 On my webpage I do indeed show Iko Iko, The Clapping Song,
 Sweet
 Memory and Burning as a Kid Jensen session but I now think
 the tracks
 you have are the actual KJ session tracks.
 
 The
  tracks I refer to on my website were from a KJ show called
 B15 (I
 think) and The Belle Stars actually performed these songs
 live as the
 tape I have is interspersed with an audience and interviews
 with the
 Belle Stars.  They then get up to perform the
 songs.  I always just
 assumed this was the KJ session but now I think not. 
 Sweet Memory and
 Burning are definetely different on the tape I have compared
 to the
 tape you have uploaded.
 
 As for the Richard Skinner session I'm afraid I have
 never heard any
 of the session tracks and I'm not sure what tracks they
 ever recorded.
  The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that they recorded
 the session
 in 1981 which was before Clare Hirst (sax) joined the band
 and she was
 credited with writing Sweet Memory so your tracks must be
 from the KJ
 show.
 
 Sorry I can't shed much more light on this but please
 keep up with the
 good work on the JP site!  I do
  occasionally check out the JP site as
 I'm still looking out for good quality recordings of all
 The
 Bodysnatchers radio session they did (they were the 2-tone
 group that
 the Belle Stars were formed from).
 
 And if you ever come across a Richard Skinner tape...!!!
 
 Thanks once again.
 
 Malc
 PS - I have some old BS clippings from magazines and the
 like so if I
 do ever come across some more info I will try and let you
 know.  I'll
 also update my fansite as i have sadly neglected it for a
 while!
